Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

Name-calling and other types of misconduct in the court room do not enhance the dignity or appearance of justice and propriety that is so important to the courts' public image and function. The Code of Judicial Conduct addresses these kinds of behaviors; Canon 3B(4) requires judges to be patient, dignified, and courteous to litigants, jurors, witnesses, lawyers, and others with whom the judge deals in an official capacity and requires judges to demand similar conduct of lawyers, and of staff, court officials, and others subject to the judge's direction and control. At a minimum, judges need to attempt to prevent such vitriol and discipline offenders when it occurs. Some means that judges have at their disposal to control errant counsel includes attorney disqualifications, new trials, and reporting of attorneys to disciplinary boards.
